I think she's referring to the many outright misogynistic things NL has said about her in the past, combined w/ he was addressing her in this email like he saw her as an insolent schoolchild; while anyone can be the target of that sort of infantilization, it disproportionately targets women

... threatening that he *might* no longer think YW is a "serious person who stood by her commitments," assuming that she'd...care what his opinion of her is? and after years of him publicly tearing her down for her outfits? LOL. LMAO, even. play stupid games, win stupid prizes

Philippa Cole is Yuja Wang's agent. The way I'm reading this, Yuja (or her agents) sent a diplomatic refusal through official channels, and Norman Lebrecht here then emailed Yuja directly, attempting to make her feel obligated to say yes to being on his show anyway...

I see Alysa on the upper pink stripe and a clear Emi Zingas on the lower pink! Do I also spy Ilia Malinin on the lower blue stripe and Isabeau Levito on the white?

That was adorable and so her. And man, when Jordan rotates around a skater while they're in a spin? Impeccable camera work and so incredible to watch. #MilanoCortina2026 #FigureSkating

I hope the Olympics puts Niina's Cell Block Tango on YouTube, because the three victims slayed the deaths almost as hard as she slayed the program

Petition to mute Tara Lipinski's mic before she kills another vibe. What she did during the bridge of Amber's "That's Life" was criminal. #milanocortina2026

Ami Nakai continues to be an absolute ray of sunshine, and her gala music is much better than that unsalted-chicken-breast-energy cover of What a Wonderful World she used in the free (thank goodness) #milanocortina2026 #figureskating
